"He still wants to know that prophecy?" In front of a large mahogany table, Dumbledore sat upright, put the fingertips of his hands together, raised his head, and looked at the standing man with his blue eyes. The black-robed man at the side asked in a deep voice.
There was some tiredness in his tone that couldn't be concealed.
He is a little tired these days.
One bad news after another.
The attack on Arthur Weasley in the Ministry of Magic not long ago made him even more nervous, which may mean that Voldemort's hand has now reached the Ministry of Magic.
Their plan must be accelerated, otherwise more innocent people will die.
The cruelty of the Dark Lord is only showing the tip of the iceberg.
Dumbledore ran his strong fingers over a piece of dusty parchment, which was written in dense black letters.
What is written in the letter is news that has not yet spread and has not been reported by the "Daily Prophet".
Durmstrang's current headmaster, Igor Karkaroff, is dead, in his office.
Died by Avada Kedavra.
He fell down in front of the desk, his chest was completely pierced, and all the blood was drained from his body.
The Killing Curse did not have this effect. It can be inferred that he died after being tortured crazily, and was killed by cruel methods.
When a teacher went to find him, he thought he was just asleep, so he didn't dare to disturb him, and left quietly.
Because there is no smell of blood.
It was not fully discovered until at least three days after his death.
But the news never got out.
In order to maintain stability.
Even if Durmstrang's address is kept secret, it is obviously impossible to hide it from wizards of Voldemort's level.
And Dumbledore's schedule is intensive. Not long ago, when he just left Hogwarts, Snape couldn't even find him to report information, and the owl mail was not safe, and no one could guarantee the information. Not intercepted.
Until today, the two had no chance to meet each other.
This is the new office of the Ministry of Magic's Emergency Security Division, where Dumbledore often stays.
For now, he is the only one here, and this department is also, and now he is actually a polished commander.
Now his thick silver eyebrows were raised upwards, looking hale and hearty, forcing his sense of burnout down.
He thought about the reasons why Voldemort pursued the prophecy, and what kind of impact it would have.
Voldemort is a contradictory body. He believes in his own power and is obsessed with the power brought about by the power above everything, but he is also superstitious about prophecy.
If you are truly fearless, you will definitely sneer at such things.
His superstition eventually led to his defeat in the First Wizarding War.
In the original situation, Voldemort was at the height of his power both in terms of mana and power, and the only wizard who could fight and even win was Dumbledore, but this was meaningless.
Dumbledore couldn't kill Voldemort at all.
His advantage may only lie in his age and a deeper understanding of magic.
But that doesn't help much in battle, since Voldemort can equalize this disadvantage in other ways.
Like Avada Kedavra.
This is the spell that Dumbledore would not use and that he can use with impunity.
Voldemort also has more subordinates. Even though their strength varies, there are still a few powerful subordinates, and they also have no scruples.
So most of the time, the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors are in a state of passive defense.
Voldemort, still in his prime at the time, made seven more Horcruxes.
If he had really been able to bear his temper back then, endured enough, and survived until Dumbledore died of natural causes, perhaps the history of the wizarding society would have been completely rewritten.
But everything about him was ruined by the prophecy of an unknown witch and Snape's unintentional fuel.
A witch who often made wrong predictions, a guide that year changed the course of the wizarding society, perhaps this was unexpected to her.
Snape overheard Trelawney's prophecy in the Hog's Head, and he informed Voldemort.
And Voldemort believed it too.
After some reasoning, you will find that the details determine the outcome.
After Voldemort decided to choose to kill Harry, Snape begged him to let him just spare Harry's mother, the person he loved the most.
Voldemort complied, a request he felt he could give to his informant.
Subtle differences emerged.
If he had directly killed the Potters at the beginning, then maybe everything would have ended, but he gave Lily a chance to sacrifice.
If they were killed directly, it would mean that Lily had no choice but to lose the meaning of sacrifice.
It is this that changes the final outcome.
"Don't kill Harry, please, have mercy, do whatever you want, just kill me." These were Lily's last words before she died.
The nuances come up, so that Lily dies for her baby, the protective spell of love is formed, and Voldemort's deadly spell is cast off.
The great maternal love made him fall from the clouds, and the mighty devil turned into a lingering soul, worse than maggots, who could only wander in the jungle.
"Yes, he is eager to know the reason for his failure, and that may be in the second half of the prophecy." Snape said expressionlessly.
"There is no secret reason." Dumbledore shook his head, his long silver hair swaying, and said in a sigh-like tone: "It's not a secret, I told him directly, He only pursues his own strength, but ignores some other things, unfortunately he doesn't believe in it."
Snape remained silent and remained silent. His whole body was hidden in a black robe, his body was tense, and he looked at the old man in front of him quietly, maybe he was caught in boundless painful memories.
An unspeakable silence and a sad atmosphere suddenly filled the room between the two.
They are all people who have been hurt for the so-called most powerful weapon and have become stronger.
"Do you want me to tell him that?" Snape made a rare joke that wasn't very funny, his dark eyes fixed on Dumbledore.
"Of course not." Under Dumbledore's blue eyes, there was a light of wisdom that belonged to him.
"Find Professor Trelawney for me and tell her..." Dumbledore slowly laid out his plan.
And in Monday's prophecy class, Professor Trelawney began her very hazy, difficult to explain class.
A room filled with incense, dimly lit by a shaded lamp, and a low fire emitting a foul smell.
Trelawney sat at a round wooden table and placed her shiny jeweled hands on the table.
Some students guessed it was too heavy, and she wanted to take this opportunity to take a break.
The female professor is always wrapped in a thick shawl and wears a pair of glasses that can magnify her eyes several times.
She is starting class now.
